The Story

It was introduced on January 6, 2021 and referred to the Senate Judiciary committee. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0762s). On March 18, 2021 the Senate adopted “Special Order to 03/25/2021, RC 23Y-1N”, on a motion by Sen. Bradley. The committee recommended that the Senate pass it with changes (amendment 2021-0762s). The committee's amendment (2021-0762s) was rejected on a roll call 0–24 on March 25, 2021. A floor amendment (2021-1016s), offered by Sen. Daniels, was adopted on a roll call 24–0 on March 25, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On March 25, 2021 the Senate voted to pass it with changes and ordered it to a third reading. It crossed to the House and was referred to the House Judiciary committee. The committee met in executive session on May 11, 2021 to vote on its recommendation. The majority recommended that the House pass it with changes (amendment 2021-1435h), and the minority recommended that the House pass it, by a vote of 12–9. The report was placed on the regular calendar. The committee's amendment (2021-1435h) was adopted on a division vote 198–178 on June 3, 2021, changing the text of the bill. On June 3, 2021 the House voted to pass it with changes on a division vote 201–175. On June 10, 2021 the Senate voted to reject the other chamber's changes on a voice vote, on a motion by Sen. Sharon Carson. On June 10, 2021 the House adopted “House Refuses to Accede to Senate Request for CofC” on a voice vote, on a motion by Rep. Gordon.
